A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 463
"Are you trying to trick me, you sly vixen?" Spencer asked sternly."In any case, don't you regret it," Lucille replied. "If you do, you better find yourself another Mrs. Layton." Spencer furrowed his brows and asked coldly, "What did you say?" Meanwhile, Lila had just finished her discussion and called for Lucille. Lucille quickly replied, "Mom's calling me. I'll talk to you later." Spencer looked at his phone in resignation and a trace of affection for his wife when he got hung up on.Spencer had asked Lila to take Lucille shopping. He didn't want Lucille to be alone in thought in the house, so he thought having some work could shift her attention away. But he had no idea about Lucille's plan for the day. And so… Lucille and Lila were still in the shopping mall. They were in a jewelry shop, where Lila was in a discussion with the staff. Lucille didn't want to be involved, so she waited in the lounge area instead. "Hey, Mom," Lucille greeted as she approached Lila. "

At 6:30 pm, Herbert was confused when he saw Spencer return alone. As Spencer hung his coat on the coat rack, Herbert asked, "Mr. Layton, why have you returned?" Spencer furrowed his brows. "What's wrong?" Herbert had served Spencer for over ten years, so Spencer knew Herbert well. Spencer noticed something was off immediately after Herbert asked his question. Herbert was even confused by Spencer's question. He explained, "Mrs. Layton called half an hour ago saying she won't return for dinner. I thought she was with you, so I asked Lana not to prepare dinner." Spencer's eyebrows furrowed even further upon learning that Lucille wasn't coming back for dinner. She hadn't informed him about that. After a brief silence, Spencer said, "I see. Okay." "Should I have Lana make you dinner?" Herbert asked. "It's okay," Spencer replied. "I'm not hungry at the moment." Herbert made no further comments and left. Spencer sat on the couch and loosened his tie before taking out his ph

Lucille and Lila were at a store that sold blue cheese burgers. Although they had eaten earlier, they still had space for more.They passed by this store about two minutes ago and locked eyes. Then, they tacitly entered together. After some waiting, the staff placed their orders on the table. "Two blue cheese burgers with caramelized onions and bacon for two pretty ladies. Enjoy."Lila politely thanked the waitress, mainly because she adored being called pretty. Previously, she would either be called "Ms. Porter" or "Mrs. Layton", which she had gotten sick of. Besides, what woman in her 50s wouldn't appreciate being called pretty?After finishing the burgers, they returned home, feeling satisfied. Lucille dropped Lila at Layton Manor before heading back to Sparrow Residence.Before alighting from the car, Lila told her, "Oh, Lucy? Remember to keep this a secret between you and me. Neither of our husbands can know about this."Lucille replied, "Don't worry, Mom. I got you."Lila

"You're awful at lying." Eric glanced at Lila's right hand. "Whenever you lie, your right hand would automatically fidget with your clothes."At that, Lila instantly released her right hand. She forgot that this bad habit of hers was first noticed by him and him alone. Indeed, she could feign ignorance and lie on the surface, but for some reason, she had to fidget with her clothes. She thought that it was perhaps a subconscious habit.Eric's countenance looked serious, and his tone resembled one lecturing a child. "I remember telling you that your stomach cannot handle such high-cholesterol food. Why are you being disobedient today?"Lila instinctively blurted out, "You've controlled me in that aspect for 30 years. Can't I fulfill my cravings for once?" Then, she huffed and pretended to be angry before heading upstairs.In reality, she was frightened inside. Many said Eric was a henpecked man, but she, too, feared angering him. When she saw his solemn face, her only thought was to

Not only did Lucille stop his lips with her hand, but she also covered her mouth with another. Her initially cold hand warmed up against his breath, tickling her palm."My sweetie, are you rejecting me? Hm?" Spencer's low voice vibrated through the gaps between her fingers, creating a deeper tone. His sharp, arched brows were now veiled in a layer of frost, and his dark eyes were simmering with intensity.She shook her head again, hand still sealing her mouth, and answered, "No. I just didn't want you to…" She paused briefly, blinking her watery eyes at him. "To regret it later on."He raised his brows, signaling for her explanation. He wanted to know what he would regret.Lucille arrived at a quandary. She wondered how she was going to explain this. She couldn't possibly tell him that she and Lila had devoured plenty of junk food earlier, including blue cheese, which he heavily disliked. She couldn't turn herself in!As an idea sprouted in her head, she devised an excuse. "My gum

After a momentary daze, Lucille remained headstrong and shook her head, denying, "No.""Then, let go. I won't mind it. What are you worried about?""No way. Unless you get up and stop crushing me."Spencer lifted his head from her ear and locked in on her face. He knew her personality all too well. She was stubborn and persistent, and since she might have more patience in extending this standstill, he decided to concur first.Moments later, he rose and sat on the side, his gaze fixed on her figure. Almost immediately, Lucille's eyes turned brighter and wider. She used one hand to support herself, albeit maintaining a distance from him.Faced with her distrust, Spencer was rather helpless."I'm heading back to the room," she said, covering her mouth. Then, she circled away from him and arrived at the staircase. Just as she was about to take a step up, she heard a dull, painful groan from behind.She stopped and turned around suspiciously, only to see his figure no longer sitting

Lucas sat on the couch, his countenance dark as he gazed at the woman opposite him.Bailey crossed her legs while hugging a pillow, mumbling, "I don't want anything. Like I said a million times, I don't want to get married.""Why?""I told you before. Marriage is the death of love. Isn't that enough of a reason?" she questioned.Lucas' temples throbbed, and his veins were protruding. He never expected that cynical idea to be the greatest obstacle in his life one day.Taking a deep breath, he asked, "So, you believe that as soon as we get married, our love for each other will vanish? Or is it because you think I don't love you enough?"Bailey pondered briefly and answered, "Neither. Instead, I think you've been doing amazingly well. I just don't want to get married. That's all." Then, she added, "Aren't things great the way they are now?"She was extremely resistant to the idea of marriage, but that was something she hadn't told him. Besides, she could distinctly feel Lucas' feel

Lucas wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her forward, leaving just an inch of distance between them. Bailey, who was half-kneeling on the couch, suddenly felt her body straighten at his tug.Frightened by his actions, she found her hands sliding from his temples down to his solid shoulders. The atmosphere grew charged with tension, and their breaths lightly brushed against each other's skin.At that moment, Bailey understood what he meant. She was more open in this aspect compared to Lucille and wasn't shy about it.She blinked, asking, "Didn't you perform four surgeries today?" In other words, wasn't he too exhausted to do it?Lucas' gold-rimmed glasses gave him an added flare of irresistible charm. Beneath those glasses were a pair of scrutinizing eyes. "Are you questioning my ability?" he asked with narrowed eyes.Bailey was bold. "Not really. But there are hits and misses at times."He removed his glasses and chuckled coldly. "Is that so? I've never had any misses o

A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 704
In the bathroom, Lucille was relaxing as she enjoyed the care she was receiving from Spencer. They had seen each other like this for too long, and they had gotten used to it by now. Of course, it had taken her time to get used to it. Every time she was injured, she would end up receiving this treatment, but… While she might have gotten used to it, it was still a kind of punishment for Spencer."Honey, your shirt is wet. Why don't you take it off?"She noticed that half of his black shirt was wet and sticking closely to his body. The wet shirt perfectly outlined his muscular build.She couldn't help but gulp. This was pretty deadly to her too.He was wearing a black shirt with two buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked simply irresistible. Her heart couldn't help but race. As he carefully wiped her arm, he avoided the injury on her right hand. It was already torture for him to help her bath. However, when he suddenly he

"So, you can't blame Eunie for not telling you, and you can't blame us for keeping you in the dark."In other words, Ian had brought it upon himself, and there was no one else to blame but himself.Ian was rendered speechless. He'd never thought that this was how Eunice saw him—a ruthless person who would get rid of his own child.He mocked himself inwardly. He also felt hurt, as if something were stabbing him.After Lucille was done talking, she saw Ian look visibly upset and didn't say anything. So, she whispered to Spencer, "Do you think I went too far with what I said earlier? Can he take it?"Spencer rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry. He can take it. Besides, what you told him is the truth. If he can't handle it, he isn't worthy to be our buddy."Lucille nodded in agreement after she heard that. What Spencer said made sense. She felt at ease after he comforted her.After a while, Ian finally spoke up again. "So, I shouldn't go and look for her?"Lucille was surprised

"I'm here for you!"Upon hearing that, Lucille was rendered speechless. On second thought, she realized this was fine too.Then, she looked at Spencer and blinked before she said, "Don't leave me. I'm injured right now, so I can't fight him."Ian glowered at her words, feeling at a loss for words. Did he look like someone who would lay a hand on a woman?Spencer looked at her dotingly and responded, "Okay. I won't leave you."Ian was just flabbergasted now."What's the matter, Ian?" With Spencer to back her up, Lucille felt at ease. Even if she hadn't said anything, she knew Spencer wouldn't have left her alone with Ian.Ian suddenly smiled. "It looks like you have quite the luck. The hospital is practically your second home."Lucille was rendered speechless. Then, she smiled and looked at Spencer before she provoked Ian. "My home is wherever my husband is. We're not like some people, for whom having a wife seems to make no difference whatsoever." She'd never lost to anyone b

Ian turned to look at Lucas. It was obvious that he seemed to be wondering why Lucas had asked that. When Lucas saw Ian's expression, he knew that Ian had never thought about it. In other words, he had no recollection of what he had done and said."I'm going back to be with my wife. You guys just carry on." Spencer stood up and smoothed out the creases on his clothes as he spoke indifferently. After all, it had been a while since he'd left the ward.With that, he strode toward the door without waiting for the others to say anything. Connor was eager to see how things would unfold, so he didn't leave.…Meanwhile, after Beatrice left, Spencer returned to the hospital ward. When Lucille saw him coming in, she asked, "Where have you been?"He took off his coat and put it aside. Then, he walked to the bed and sat down. "I went to investigate some stuff."Lucille figured out what it must have been about and asked, "You went to investigate Alexander and my mom?"Spencer, who wa

"Ian, what brings you here?" Connor had no idea about Eunice's situation in Arcania, so he was quite surprised when he saw Ian.Although he was surprised, he wasn't blind. He could see that Ian had a hostile air about him.Looking puzzled, Connor glanced at Lucas, who was seated next to him, for an explanation. After all, he knew Spencer wouldn't tell him.After Ian came in, he didn't even bother to sit and directly asked, "Where is she?"Last night, he'd received Lucas' message—the latter had told him that he knew Eunice's location and wanted him to come to Arcania immediately. That was why Ian had rushed to Arcania without any delay.Lucas hadn't told him the exact location. Instead, he'd just told Ian to come to the hospital. Ian had thought that something had happened to Eunice and that she was hospitalized. So, he'd rushed to the hospital as soon as he'd gotten off the plane. However, after he'd come to his senses, he'd gotten someone to check the hospital's patient list.

Before Beatrice spoke, she looked at the entrance of the hospital ward. After ensuring that no one was coming, she said, "Although we found out that all four of Mr. President's children's last names are Vonridge, they don't seem to be his biological children."Lucille widened her eyes, looking surprised. She cocked an eyebrow and asked, "What did you just say?""They were adopted from the orphanage. Our database has their information, and it's a 100% match," Beatrice replied.Lucille naturally wouldn't doubt that the information in Otearl Alliance's database was incorrect. However, she had never heard anyone mention this before.At the same time, Spencer, who had just left, had gone to investigate something as well.After they'd returned in the afternoon, he'd instructed Kent to conduct an investigation. The news that Kent came back with shocked Spencer to the core.Connor and Lucas were also there. They were in a lounge."Spence, how could Lucille's mom also know Alexander?"

Diana let out a long sigh. Her words were tinged with helplessness and regret. "This is your aunt. She hasn't appeared for more than 20 years. I never expected her to be gone for this long. There has been no news from her. She must hate me very much."Samantha had no idea what had happened. Her aunt's name and everything related to her had always been taboo in the Crawford family."Is it possible that Ms. Deer is my aunt's child?" Samantha asked.If that was the case, it was quite a coincidence.Diana looked at the photo album in her hands. After a brief silence, she said, "I want to meet her. Don't tell anyone about this for now."Samantha nodded. "Okay."…Meanwhile, in Arcania, Alexander also left the venue after Lucille and the others left.After Alexander left, he immediately had someone to investigate Lucille's past. Back then, after Jane had suddenly left, she had covered all her tracks. No matter how Alexander had searched, he hadn't been able to find her. There hadn't
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 697
When Diana took a closer look, her hands, which had been leisurely tapping on the armrests, suddenly froze.At first, Samantha didn't notice anything unusual about her reaction."Grandma, the best thing I got out of this trip was getting a photo with my idol." She went on and on. "It's the first time I got to see Ms. Deer's real face, and she's very beautiful. No wonder she always wears a veil. Although she looks aloof, I think the way she talks sounds gentle."By the way, she is married. Her real name is Lucille Johnson, and she's from Whiteloop City in Summeria. There was an unexpected incident during the competition, and it was quite despicable. I didn't expect her family to turn out completely different from how I'd imagined them to be."Samantha pouted as she stared at the photo of her and Lucille. She'd always thought that someone outstanding like Lucille would have a perfect family; she hadn't expected things to turn out like that.After the competition had ended, Samantha
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 696
Meanwhile, after Samantha had participated in the perfumery competition, she'd stayed in Whiteloop City for about a week before returning to Crawford Residence in Marvonia.She had been declared the champion of this year's perfumery competition. After she'd returned, she'd chosen to keep a low profile and hadn't celebrated or gone around boasting about it.However, she'd forgotten that Natasha Crawford, her mother, had a strong sense of pride.Since Samantha had been young, she'd had to excel in everything and come in first to meet Natasha's expectations. Only then could Natasha hold her head high and brag about Samantha in front of everyone. At the same time, she could enjoy the flattery from those around her.So, the day after Samantha had returned, Natasha had gathered everyone and thrown a party to celebrate her victory. The room had been filled with people she hadn't known, but they'd all been important figures. That night, after making an appearance, Samantha had left the
